Gil Brandt’s Hot 100

Very high on Bama players. Six in the First Round and nine in first Two rounds. Not so high on Mac Jones.

Was just about to bring this here as well but today on radio Kiper and his radio sidekick plus Rick Neuheisel were really negative on Mac . They act like every throw the last two years was wide open throws anybody can make

I mean, all these top QBs except maybe Wilson were throwing to pretty much wide open receivers. Don't try and tell me that Clemson's and Ohio State's and North Dakota State's guys can't get open against the competition they face weekly. It's a legitimate concern but a stupid criticism.

I said a long time ago that all these NFL GM's will start playing this D-value Bama game as it gets closer to draft day.I stand by what I posted a while back that we will see 5-6 Bama players go in the first round.I think they all are playing poker face to get in position to make trades.

I just feel Based on the season we had and the way those 6 played from the SEC and through out the playoffs had to have made NFL people take notice.Both Mac, Najee and Christain all played there way into the first round after this past season.

I was just hoping Mac gets picked by either the 49ers or Falcons with good weapons or 49ers with a good OC that will fit him.But this kid really worked hard and waited for his shot in the process and I hope he goes to a good OC which will play to what he does well.

There is noway those NFL coaches were not blown away by the show Bama put on this yr.The fluidity by which Steve had this offense clicking shows how well coached this group was and how well they took to the coaching.

How is he not higher up on boards? Is it just bc he's a guard? He's a player that if you keep him motivated to be in shape he will be a pro bowler one day.

No, the money will make it worse. But is he just such a character concern that everyone thinks there is no way he's gonna stay motivated?


I've said for a long time that some of our guys see getting to the league and getting that big check as the finish line. There is nothing wrong with that in my mind. You bust your arse for several years in college and the reward is a life changing check. I can tell you it was that way for Dee Milliner.
